Especially for long lists like database lists and directory
lists, it would be very helpful to have enhanced vertical
scrolling abilities. 3 suggestions:

-- dynamic speed scrolling through lists, in which the
speed increases the longer the up or down button
(joystick) is pressed

-- page scrolling thought lists--right now this can be
done thru the on + up/down button combination, but that
is hard or impossible to do one-handed; it is
recommened to replace that button combination with a
short press of the joystick up or down followed by a long
press and hold in that direction

-- scrolling that would jump to the next alphabetical
listing of items, thru the above button combination.

These feature would be of great value and use--thanks
for considering their possibility and implementation.

For the original apple software, the scrolling starts off slow, and it increases the longer and faster you scroll. Eventually, when scrolling is fast enough, an image overlay pops up over the list and you scroll through the letters of the alphabet (The current letter that the user is scrolling to is the image). When the user stops, the list is at the start of that letter. I would like to see this implemented into rockbox, as scrolling through a long list is quite annoying.

Any user of rockbox should have problems scrolling through large lists, and I'm sure many people have hundreds of songs, so I'm surprised that a faster scrolling method hasn't been implemented yet after all this time!

We need a developer on this. I think this is more important than some of the other tasks

I am a Rockbox user, and I don't have problems scrolling through my large music collection. That may be because I mainly use iriver H140 and my iAudio X5. I'm pretty sure that this scrolling problem is specific to some (ipod) targets. Therefore, it is hardly surprising that there is no faster scrolling method "after all this time".
